Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.
Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.
Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.
Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE
Rest in Peace, Mr. Turner

Since I made the post about how it was gonna end soon that happened to get widely shared I thought I’d give it a send off post as well.
Bouldering is like programming; You spend hours (and lots of caffeine) trying to solve a problem. When it's a fun problem you keep thinking about it all the time and want to work on it every free minute you have; and then when you've finally solved it you achieve happiness for all of three seconds before you move to the next problem. It's an eternal cycle of days/weeks of frustration followed by a very short burst of intense euphoria.

A worldwide epidemic encourages a biotech company to launch an organ-financing program similar in nature to a standard car loan. The repossession clause is a killer, however.
